Components How the System Works The SportDOG YardTrainer SD-105 has been proven safe, comfortable and effective for all dogs over 8 pounds. Consistent, correct use of this product allows you to reinforce commands and correct misbehavior from up to 100 yards. The Remote Transmitter sends a signal, activating the Collar Receiver to deliver a harmless stimulation. With proper training, a dog will learn to associate this signal with a command.
Key Definitions Remote Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal to the Collar Receiver. It is weatherproof and cannot be submerged in water. Intensity Dial: Provides multiple levels of stimulation so you can match the correction to your dog’s temperament. Transmitter Indicator Light: Indicates that a button is pressed and also serves as a low battery indicator. Upper Button: This button is factory-set to deliver Continuous Stimulation.
Step 1 Prepare the Remote Transmitter Inserting 3-Volt Batteries 1. Remove the battery cover from the back of the Remote Transmitter by using a coin and turning it counter-clockwise. 2. Insert 3-volt batteries and secure the battery cover. Note: Approximate battery life will be 3 months, depending upon frequency of use.
Step 2 Prepare the Collar Receiver Inserting 3-Volt Batteries 1. Use a small Philips screwdriver to remove the two screws on the receiver. 2. Press the battery door up in the direction of the arrows on the door. It will move up slightly and the door will release. 3. Insert two, 3-volt lithium CR2032 batteries per the diagram on the receiver. 4. Replace the battery door. Check to ensure the gasket is in place and clean. 5. Tighten the screws. Do not over tighten.
Step 3 Fit the Collar Receiver Important: The proper fit and placement of the Collar Receiver is important for effective training. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin. To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps: 1. With your dog standing (3A), center the Collar Receiver where the Contact Points are underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (3B). If your dog has a long or thick coat, trim the hair around the Contact Points to ensure consistent contact. 2.
To Re-Thread the Collar Slide Buckle The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your dog’s neck. Ridges The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if it is not properly threaded. _________________________________________ Step 4 Find the Best Intensity Level for Your Dog The YardTrainer SD-105 has multiple intensity levels. This allows you to choose the stimulation that is best for your dog. Note: Always start at the lowest level and work your way up.
Step 5 Reset the Collar Receiver To reset the Collar Receiver to work with a new Remote Transmitter or to reprogram a new Collar Receiver to work with your existing Remote Transmitter: A. Turn the Collar Receiver off. B. Press and hold the On/Off Button. The Receiver Indicator Light will come on, then turn off after 4-5 seconds. If the On/Off Button is released too early, the Receiver Indicator Light will begin flashing as normal. If this occurs, start over from A. C.
Frequently Asked Questions Is the stimulation safe for my dog? While the stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your dog. Electronic training devices require interaction and training from the owner to achieve desired results. How old does a dog have to be before using the YardTrainer SD-105? Your dog should be able to learn basic obedience commands such as “Sit” or “Stay.” The Collar Receiver may be too large for dogs under 8 pounds.
